Raj:

This is not a big problem. You're just displaying nonprinting characters.
They're always there, but you may elect not to display them. I suggest you
learn to work with them showing, as you'll become a much better user of Word
that way.

Read this:

And bookmark the home page of the site. It will answer many of your questions.

Hit the ¶ button on your toolbar.

Or better yet, learn to understand what they mean:

I'd be surprised if it was in each line - each paragraph is more likely.

As the others have said, this indicates a paragraph break. If you actually
do have one at the end of every line, see
